FOODS: BIDDEN AND FORBIDDEN
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying to them,
2 Word to the sons of Yisra El, saying, These are the live beings you eat of all the animals on the earth:
3 whatever splits the hoof and cleaves the cleft of the hoof and regurgitates the cud, among the animals, that you eat.
4 Only these eat not: of them that regurgitate the cud, or of them that split the hoof: as the camel, though he regurgitates the cud, yet splits not the hoof; he is foul to you:
5 and the coney, though he regurgitates the cud, yet splits not the hoof; he is foul to you:
6 and the hare, though he regurgitates the cud, yet splits not the hoof; he is foul to you:
7 and the hog, though he split the hoof and cleaves the cleft of the hoof, yet regurgitates not the cud; he is foul to you.
8 - neither eat their flesh nor touch their carcase they are foul to you.
9 These you eat of all in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters - in the seas and in the wadies them you eat:
10 and all with no fins and scales in the seas and in the wadies - all that teem in the waters of any living soul in the waters, are an abomination to you:
11 yes, they are an abomination to you: eat not of their flesh and abominate their carcases.
12 - whatever in the waters has neither fins nor scales is an abomination to you:
13 And of the flyers, abominate these: eat them not - they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage and the ospray
14 and the kite and the hawk in species;
15 every raven in species;
16 and the daughter of the owl and the night hawk and the cuckow and the hawk in species;
17 and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl
18 and the swan and the pelican and the gier eagle,
19 and the stork, the heron in species; and the hoopoe and the bat;
20 all teemers that fly, going on all four, are an abomination to you.
21 Only these: eat of every flying teemer going on all four having legs above their feet to leap with on the earth;
22 of them, eat these: the locust in species and the bald locust in species and the beetle in species and the grasshopper in species.
23 - and all teemers that fly, having four feet, are an abomination to you.
24 And for these you become foul: whoever touches their carcase becomes foul until the evening.
25 And whoever bears of their carcase, washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening:
26 every animal splitting the hoof, but neither cleaves the cleft of the hoof nor regurgitates the cud is foul to you: every one who touches them becomes foul.
27 And whatever goes on his paws, among all live beings that go on all four, are foul to you: whoever touches their carcase becomes foul until the evening.
28 And he who bears their carcase, washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening: they are foul to you.
29 And these are foul to you among the teemers teeming on the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the tortoise in species,
30 and the shrieker and the chameleon and the lizard and the snail and the mole;
31 these are foul to you among all the teemers: whoever touches them, in their death, becomes foul until the evening:
32 and on whatever any of them, when they are dead, falls, becomes foul; whether any instrument of timber or clothes or skin or saq - whatever instrument, wherein work is worked: and it becomes foul until the evening; put it in water: thus be it purified.
33 And every pottery instrument that falls midst any of them, whatever is in its midst becomes fouled; and you break it.
34 Of all food to eat, on which such water comes, becomes foul: and all drink to drink in every such instrument becomes foul:
35 and all whereupon their carcase falls becomes foul - oven or ranges for pots - pull them down for they are foul - foul to you.
36 Only, a fountain or well - a congregating of water, is pure: but what touches their carcase becomes foul.
37 And if their carcase falls on any seeding seed to be seeded, it is pure:
38 and if any water is given on the seed and their carcase fall thereon, it becomes foul to you.
39 And if any animal for food, dies; he who touches the carcase thereof becomes foul until the evening:
40 and he who eats of the carcase thereof washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening: and he who bears the carcase thereof washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening.
41 And every teemer teeming on the earth is an abomination - not eaten.
42 Whatever goes on the belly and whatever goes on all four or whatever abounds with feet among all teemers teeming on the earth, eat them not; for they are an abomination.
43 Neither abominate your souls with any teeming teemer, nor foul yourselves with them, that you become foul thereby.
44 I - Yah Veh your Elohim: hallow yourselves and be holy; I - holy: foul not your souls with any teemer creeping on the earth.
45 I - Yah Veh who ascended you from the land of Misrayim, to become your Elohim: so you become holy; I - holy.
46 This is the torah of the animals and of the flyers and of every living soul creeping in the waters and of every soul teeming on the earth:
47 to separate between the foul and between the pure and between the live being to eat and between the live being not to eat.
